Meet Fuego

Tio Ernesto’s started as a chicken seasoning — and never stopped there. It’s just as at home on pork, seafood, sautéed and roasted vegetables, nuts, cheeses and eggs. Some people even reach for it on popcorn.

  • Chicken, pork & seafood
  • Vegetables, roasted or sautéed
  • Cheeses & mixed nuts
  • Eggs, popcorn & the unexpected

One seasoning.
Endless ways to use it.

However you use it, it does the same thing every time: makes what you make better.

A family recipe that started in a
backyard in South Florida.

Tio Ernesto’s began while Walt was a student at the University of Miami — a love for Cuban food, a graduate student’s budget, and a blend that closed the gap between the two. What started as a chicken seasoning for Sunday dinners became Christmas gifts for family and friends, year after year, until the only thing left to do was share it properly.

Every bottle still carries that same intention: real ingredients, real flavor, and a recipe worth passing down.
